The first name 
Cosme

Cosme is a first name for boys.

Cosme – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Cosme in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Cosme in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Cosme by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Cosme ranks at #6,305. That means there are 6,304 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Cosme.

Cosme has 5 letters 
and begins with a C

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.

With five letters, the name Cosme is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
